LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – MARCH 16: Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott presents Payton Pritchard #3 of the Oregon Ducks with the Most Outstanding Player award after the Ducks’ 68-48 victory over the Washington Huskies to win the championship game of the Pac-12 basketball tournament at T-Mobile Arena on March 16, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

12. Michigan vs. Oregon (Dec. 14)

The Oregon Ducks are going to be a force to reckon with this year in the Pac 12. With Payton Pritchard now a senior, I think they will be a national contender. Michigan will play them tough in Ann Arbor, but Oregon is too much.

Winner: Oregon

11. Louisville vs. Michigan (Dec. 3, Big Ten/ACC Challenge)

If these two suffer some early season losses, this game will be one in which both are forced to find a way to make things start happening in their favor. If it comes to this, Louisville will win a close one.

Winner: Louisville

10. Florida vs. Florida State (Nov. 10)

The battle for the state of Florida will be great because I feel that Florida is overrated while Florida State is not receiving the attention that they deserve. Florida State will gain that attention when they beat the Gators in Gainesville the second game of the season.

Winner: Florida State

9.  Washington vs. Gonzaga (Dec. 8)

Washington will give Gonzaga all they can handle and then some as they look to make it clear that Gonzaga is not the only team in the state of Washington that is capable of having NCAA basketball success.

Winner: Washington

8. Arizona vs. Gonzaga (Dec. 14)

A week after falling to Washington, Gonzaga will be a new team. They will head to Arizona to make a statement. Arizona will hang around for a while, but Gonzaga will show how dominant they can be.

Winner: Gonzaga

7. Oregon vs. Houston (Nov. 22)

Houston hasn’t received much love this offseason. Their game with Oregon will earn them some because they will make the game interesting for a while.

Winner: Oregon
